With decades of dedicated training under the legendary Hariprasad Chaurasia, this flute journey is rooted in authentic tradition and deep musical immersion. Extensive experience in jazz and world music has included performing alongside renowned artists such as Victor Wooten, Jack DeJohnette, Ramesh Misra, and Debu Chaudhuri.

The transformative connection with the bansuri (North Indian bamboo flute) inspired a two-year move to India to study directly under Hariprasad Chaurasia. This profound mentorship continued for 12 years at the Codarts Rotterdam, earning two degrees in World Music while commuting internationally to pursue excellence.

Lessons are available worldwide via Zoom, making authentic instruction accessible from any location. Western flute instruction is also offered, including the ability to perform Indian melodies on the Western flute.

Alongside musical training, there has been deep study of Indian spiritual traditions and inspiration drawn from masters such as Swami Muktananda, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Vivekananda, and Ramakrishna. A profound spiritual encounter with Adi Da Samraj further deepened the connection between music and inner realization.

This path blends mastery, devotion, and healing sound — offering students not only technique, but a deeply meaningful musical experience.
